TASK 3: PROJECT 2

Lalin:

Lalin was already highly finished before, so what I needed to adjust this time was the color correction. I used blue to create a sad atmosphere because Lalin didn't show up for the date.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE:

An exciting news, we are going to shoot on site. Before shooting, our team has assigned the shooting personnel.

I am a lighting technician, so I learned a lot of lighting techniques in advance, hoping to use them. For example, lighting from the bottom can create a scary atmosphere.If you want to cover up blemishes on a person, it would be best to have a headlight on the back and side, a fill light in the front, and so on.

I like this atmosphere! Everyone is fully committed to their own work. The professor also taught me how to use the lights, which is one of the secrets to making the picture more advanced. Everyone is very friendly, and this is the best small group to work with.

After that, we needed to freely combine the filmed clips into a trailer.

I wanted to create a story about a man who doesn't want to indulge in a beautiful dream. So I used mostly black and white shots, as well as special effects such as blur and noise to deepen the "memories" effect. I am quite satisfied with the music, because I have been making the music match the progress of the clips. I am grateful to our actors, whose acting skills gave me such inspiration.

For the sound effects, I focused on adding fighting sound effects and transition sound effects, because they are needed in large quantities. This work is not perfect, but it is the best I can do within the time limit.

REFLECTION

Experiences:

I like filming in such a friendly crew. Everyone tried their best to encourage each other. It doesn't matter if there are NGs, we can do it again, and no one will lose their temper. We also encountered the awkward situation of changing classrooms halfway through, but we finished filming quickly before they started class. Thank you to the students and professors who understood us.

Observations:

It was undoubtedly the most fun time. It was a wonderful feeling to be on a set, following the director's instructions, storyboarding to determine the position of the lights, and you need to do all this in advance, so you have to be fast, otherwise it might be delayed.

Findings:

Everyone is very important in teamwork. Good team awareness is the beginning of all success, which is what I learned in the crew. Editing the trailer by myself is a test of personal ability, and I hope to improve in both.
